In the Sabo Center, we work closely with many different communities in the Cedar-Riverside, Seward and East Phillips neighborhoods. A core part of our work is to connect our campus community with those living and working in the neighborhoods adjacent to campus. This provides learning opportunities for our students, staff and faculty, and lends support to our neighbors in meaningful ways.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As long as Cedar-Riverside has been a neighborhood it has been a neighborhood of immigrants. Today, those immigrants come from many places, mainly East Africa and many from Somalia. The warmth and welcome, the spirit of joy that permeates Cedar-Riverside has been amplified by the Somali community. We at the Sabo Center likewise extend that warmth and welcome to our Somali neighbors and all immigrant communities near and far. We stand in solidarity with our neighbors and will do all that we can to support and keep safe as many people as possible. We invite you, allies, collaborators or wherever else you stand, to join us.<\/span><\/p>\n
